AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great

Ben Carson, the African-American neurosurgeon who was the subject of the movie GIFTED HANDS, asks questions about the course of the nation and offers his ideas for its future. While he faults both parties for emphasizing winning and for catering to special interest groups, Carson's devout Christianity forms the backbone of his moral viewpoint. With its emphasis on religious freedom, conservative listeners will find the most points of agreement. Carson, a noted public speaker, writes for the ear. His sensitivity to the sound of words gives Dion Graham's reading the feel of one of Carson's speeches. Even mundane facts sound energetic in Graham's narration. The combination of lively writing and strong narration will please listeners who lean toward Carson's views. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2012]
